of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") and Section V and VI of the
CARES Act,for costs incurred due to the public health emergency with respect to the Coronavirus Disease
2019 (COVID-19). Under the CARES Act, the Coronavirus Relief Fund may be used to cover costs that:
1. Are necessary expenditures incurred due to the public health emergency with respect to the
Coronavirus Disease 2019(COVID-19); AND
2. Are not accounted for in the budget most recently approved as of March 27, 2020(the date
of enactment of the CARES Act)for the State or government.
These funds may be used to reimburse for expenditures incurred during the period of March 1, 2020 thru
Oct. 31, 2020. Please note: In order to ensure all funds have been fully utilized prior to the US
Treasury's December 30, 2020 end date. the State of Washington must closeout contracts by October

or business interruptions due to COVID-19-related business closures.
Funds may not be used to fill shortfalls in government revenue to cover expenditures that would not
otherwise qualify under the statute.Although a broad range of uses is allowed, revenue replacement is not
a permissible use of Fund payments.
Payments may be used only to cover costs not accounted for in the budget most recently approved as of
March 27, 2020.A cost meets this requirement if either:
1. The cost cannot lawfully be funded using a line item, allotment, or allocation within that budget;OR
2. The cost is for a substantially different use from any expected use of funds in such a line item,
allotment, or allocation.
The"most recently approved" budget is the enacted budget for the relevant fiscal period for the particular
government. A cost is not considered to have been accounted for in a budget merely because it could be
met using a budgetary stabilization fund, rainy day fund, or similar reserve account.
Allowable expenditures include, but are not limited to:
1. Medical expenses such as:
a. COVID-19-related expenses of public hospitals, clinics, and similar facilities.
b. Expenses of establishing temporary public medical facilities and other measures to increase
